Analysts have identified several features that make the election of the 47th US President unique.
Experts have identified 6 facts that make the current presidential race in the United States stand out from others.
The latest candidate replacement took place in 2024, writes RBC .
There were seven presidents before Joe Biden who dropped their reelection plans, but they announced their decision earlier. Biden was the eighth on that list and the latest to do so.
What makes these elections unique is that for the first time since 1976, Biden and politicians from the Clinton and Bush families are not participating.
Moreover, this year the candidates for the highest state office held only one televised debate.
Since 1980, presidential candidates have participated in at least two debates.
Three assassination attempts on Donald Trump also made this election campaign unique.
In addition, Trump became the oldest candidate on the ballot in the history of US presidential elections.
If Trump wins, he will be five months older on Inauguration Day than Biden, who took office four years earlier.
The Republican candidate also became the first presidential candidate to be convicted but not sentenced.
